🤣

They would if they could. They'd make everyone white on all of these shows if they could get away with it.

5-26

 

Oh, lord...SHUT UP, PHYLLIS!!!

 

I'm kinda sad that I'm spoiled on this Sharon storyline because the build (and SC acting) has been surprisingly well done. The wine bottle. Nick mentioning the blood stain. And now this postcard...? That's the intriguing I look for. 

 

I'm currently loving Ashley/Tucker. And ED knows she's playing the bitca, confused feelings, and warmth to the hilt. She is just so excellent to watch. And TSJ continues to rotate between matching her beat by beat to being just 'Todd'ish. But I giggled at Jack not liking him living in the Abbot house more than I should. 

 

I stay saying Devon vs Nate was about ego and less about Elena and thank you Nate for proving it.

 

I just can't with Billy/Chelsea and don't something I haven't did in ages...used that FF button. 

 

AL is officially the bright spot in this whole Dead Giggly Heffa story. And the fact that Kyle still does not know that Summer knew is a ticking time clock that I can't wait to see explode because I know AL is goinng to be awesome in those scenes. And I'm here for Chance/Summer/Kyle IF it goes there.

At this point it seems as though JG has given up on sustaining a big suspenseful storyline with showing Phyllis on the run and writing to have us try to figure out where she is and when her kids will find out she’s alive, etc. It now seems like JG has chosen to focus on how long Summer can keep her knowledge of her mother’s faking her death a secret from husband Kyle. There was a time that Y&R would’ve kept Phyllis on the run at least until the summer solstice and then had the information of her being alive revealed in the autumn. JG likely knows he can’t keep it going until then.

For the same reasons that I cited with Summer/Phyllis story, I think JG decided to skip the suspense where the viewers are concerned. It would not surprise me if it ends up being a garden variety stalking storyline. Oh well, it gives Sharon something to do (and Nick by extension gets a storyline that doesn’t involve Daddy daycare story)and I am entertained by the flashbacks.

I find it interesting seeing how the writers deal with no long term plan.

Like, GH they just drag things out.

 YR it's wrapped up so quickly

The most egregious race change recasting was Keesha, a character that was implied to be African-American but was originally played an actress of Puerto Rican heritage and then recast with an actress of Italian heritage.

Spoiler

Michelle and the makeup guy, Justin Jackson posted on Instagram that Phyllis is still on the run in current taping, so the story probably goes on till July?

That’s what I was wondering. How is he paying for his suite at the GCAC? What happened to his money in the years that he spent on prison? Was it sitting in investments? And if he was released again after committing yet another crime, he must have had incredible legal help and that would have cost him a lot of money, wouldn’t it have? I have questions.

Y&R has continually gotten it wrong with Asian characters, despite getting some truly talented and charismatic actors. Eric Steinberg should have been a leading man, at least for awhile, he had every characteristic to be one. Y&R flopped it.
Keemo could’ve recasted and even slightly de-aged and could’ve been mixing things up with the likes of Nick Newman and Adam Newman.

Laur Allen was way too good for the role that they wrote for her. First, it was a bore and only picked up once they shifted her a vixen, right before the character got the heave-ho.

Ravi also had potential. A few years ago, I and others batted around ideas on what could’ve been done with his character once the affair with Ashley fizzled out. Personally, I would have loved seeing Shenaz Treasurywala back on a U.S. daytime soap as Ravi’s sister. I had even proposed that Jack tries to recruit her as a chemist after learning of her work and hearing that Ashley was an inspiration to her, which turns sour once she discovered the clandestine affair between her brother and Ashley.

So many wasted storyline opportunities.

Is Gabe, who was Cameron's right-hand man and did all his dirty work, going to return again? What about Grace Turner, who ended up turning against Cameron when she helped the Newman's by testifying to all of Cameron's crimes which put him in prison. He warned Grace during the original story line against turning on him or she would go down with him.

It might have been interesting as a part of the build up Sharon hears that Grace has died in an acciden (actually caused by Cameron) Cue Nick and Sharon talking about Grace to remind old viewers , educate new viewers with a few flashbacks thrown in.

Then Sharon gets a visit from a friend/partner whatever of Grace who says she mentioned Sharon's name before dying. Sharon puzzles about what it could mean...

The last thing Y&R needs to do is kill characters off-screen. They should've just brought back Grace. There is so much they could do there, she has such a deep history with Nick and Sharon. 

I'd have brought her back a few months ago to setup Cameron's return. Maybe he contacts her, holds something over her head that she did years ago. Hell, maybe she had his child and hid it from him. There's a lot you could do with her and Cameron that would make this story sing but Griffith is just cashing his check.

I agree.  Cameron could have blackmailed Grace into setting everything into motion.  Of course, with Cameron being Cameron, I doubt Cameron would be the type to allow Grace to live once she had served her purpose for him.  He'd probably strangle or stab her and frame Nick for the crime (or he'd frame Sharon, making it seem as if she killed Grace in some bipolar frenzy).
